The physical environment is becoming more and more saturated with computing and communication entities that interact among themselves, as well as with users: virtually everything will be enabled to source information and respond to appropriate stimuli. ...
Review: Pervasive computing at scale: Transforming the state of the art
The remarkable recent progress in computing power, sensors and embedded devices, smart phones, wireless communications and networking technologies, combined with emerging data mining techniques, cloud computing and social networking paradigms has ...
Review: Situation identification techniques in pervasive computing: A review
Pervasive systems must offer an open, extensible, and evolving portfolio of services which integrate sensor data from a diverse range of sources. The core challenge is to provide appropriate and consistent adaptive behaviours for these services in the ...
Fast track article: Swimming performance and technique evaluation with wearable acceleration sensors
We are working towards a wearable computing system called SwimMaster, that will support swimmers in achieving their desired exercise goals by monitoring their swimming performance and technique and providing the necessary feedback. In this article, we ...
Fast track article: Disaggregated water sensing from a single, pressure-based sensor: An extended analysis of HydroSense using staged experiments
We present an extended analysis of our previous work on the HydroSense technology, which is a low-cost and easily installed single-point sensor of pressure for automatically disaggregating water usage activities in the home (Froehlich et al., 2009 [53])...
Fast track article: Detecting stereotypical motor movements in the classroom using accelerometry and pattern recognition algorithms
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) frequently engage in stereotyped and repetitive motor movements. Automatically detecting these movements using comfortable, miniature wireless sensors could advance autism research and enable new ...
A hierarchical approach to real-time activity recognition in body sensor networks
Real-time activity recognition in body sensor networks is an important and challenging task. In this paper, we propose a real-time, hierarchical model to recognize both simple gestures and complex activities using a wireless body sensor network. In this ...
Context-aware and quality-aware algorithms for efficient mobile object management
The management of positions of mobile objects is an essential prerequisite for many context-aware systems such as advanced traffic management systems or personal assistance systems. In this paper, we present two approaches for the scalable tracking of ...
DietCam: Automatic dietary assessment with mobile camera phones
Obesity has become a severe health problem in developed countries, and a healthy food intake has been recognized as the key factor for obesity prevention. This paper presents a mobile phone based system, DietCam, to help assess food intakes with few ...
